theres only a handful of people who are both famous enough to be impersonated and have a fanbase that can be fooled by an impersonator, and those people dont really change their username much anyway, so i dont see why the entire platform has to deal with it

Roblox is the only mainstream platform that ties you to your old usernames with no way to remove or hide them. If enough people express their opinion on this, they will have to acknowledge it at some point.

i agree if i’m honest with you,
there are some people who got doxxed in the past or such and want to get rid of such identity;
plus and if we are talking about moderation, user ids exist afterall y’know

To prevent impersonation.
They should give us the ability to hide past names. I would give people the ability to pick and choose what past names they want displayed. But they absolutely should not free past usernames, unless someone releases the name; that could also be a good feature.

Bump, been wanting this for years.
If implemented- I think it would still be good to be able to find people by their hidden names in user search.

Welp, it looks like they’ve successfully implanted this today since I’ve noticed that accounts now have their past usernames hidden.
People can still use past usernames to look up specific players if they still remember what they were called before, but that’s about it.
EDIT:
A Roblox Admin confirmed this is an official change.

Unfortunately, previous usernames being removed from user profiles isn’t a permanent change. The only thing that will be permanent is no longer being able to see one’s previous usernames in Search. Previous usernames will be visible again on user profiles in early December.

I completely agree with the OP, especially since some usernames actually destroy your privacy. Its been a requested feature for so long now, it would be so cool to actually hide your usernames.

Or if you picked a username that was younger or didn’t know meant something bad, you could be able to remove specific names from the list or hide the list entirely.

Has there been any more developments on this? Or is the the latest. Feels like nothing has changed at all.

I’ve had a similar issue in regards to one of my past usernames from when I was far younger exposing personal information that I don’t want seen publicly. I once asked Roblox support directly if they could remove that username from my profile, but they callously informed me that they would rather not go through the process if it isn’t directly affecting “user safety” (Even though it actually is). I think Roblox should take this issue more seriously, and actually address it with the delicacy it deserves. This is the only online platform on the internet that shows previous usernames openly, and I find that to be absolutely ridiculous. At the very least, allow users to select who can see past usernames (Followers, Friends, No One, etc)

There is no reason for there not to be a feature that hides past usernames. It’s a basic security and privacy setting.
